Explanation

•  Cost: Confidence in cost is lower than the benchmark because of potential cost effects of delay due to submarine availability affecting the installation program.

•  Schedule: The last boat installation for the project to achieve FMR is HMA Submarine COLLINS, which has its FCD scheduled to complete in May 2015. FCD timings have changed substantially in the past, however with the introduction of a CM controlled COLLINS IMS, the project is now confident that schedule will be met.

•  Requirements, Technical Understanding and Technical Difficulty: These elements are slightly lower than the benchmark to reflect that the final version of software (APB 07) being developed under the Project has not yet been fully tested and installed which is scheduled for mid 2011. Additionally the technical understanding is at variance because transitioning of CS05 into service for HMA submarine DECHAINEUX has not yet occurred and is planned for late 2011. Transitioning of the final baseline on HMA Submarine COLLINS is expected in early 2016.
